Victoria Leigh Brown, Ph.D.
My interdisciplinary work examines questions related to gendered precarity, reproduction, work, and the social determinants of women's health. As a cultural anthropologist, I am interested in the meaning and experience of health and illness, as well as the political and economic processes that structure the distribution of human disease and disorders. My interests are wide-ranging and cross-pollinate between fields of medical anthropology, feminist theory, political economy, and historical sociology. I have spent the past decade examining the social costs of industrial agriculture in southeastern Spain, the origin point for one of Europe's largest counter-seasonal horticultural supply chains. I am currently examining issues related to women's health, including childbirth-related injury, lower urinary tract disorders, menstruation and poverty, the physician-patient encounter, and chronic pain.
